Dear Eviews,

On any request for data from ECB database, I obtain the following issue (below).
Is this problem on my side or this is common problem? Does ECB database work on your side?

Are you getting this error when you press the Browse button?
What version and build date of EViews are you using (On menu click Help->About EViews)?

I can press "Browse" and I see datasets, but then I choose any database and press "Next", and then error occurs...
I use Eviews 11 with the latest patch, Dec 8 2020 build.

Latest patches of EViews 11 (Build date Dec 14 2020 or later) contain fix for the issue.

I am trying downloading series using the mnemonics provided in the database (see below) but I always get an error message as Eviews cannot find them. Any clue?
thanks

dbopen(type=ecb, server=https://sdw-wsrest.ecb.europa.eu/service)
fetch YC.B.U2.EUR.4F.G_N_A.SV_C_YM.SR_10Y

same happens with the Bundesbank site.
thanks

dbopen(type=bbk, server=https://api.statistiken.bundesbank.de/rest)
fetch BBSIS.M.I.ZAR.ZI.EUR.S1311.B.A604.R01XX.R.A.A._Z._Z.A

Hi Paolo,

May I know what datasets are you trying to fetch the series from?

I believe the commands you provided may have some syntax errors.

For example, this is a fetch command for getting a series in the BKN dataset from ECB database:

fetch bkn__bkn_denom=10n1.bkn_item=nc10.bkn_series=as.bkn_type=c.data_type_bkn=s.freq=m.ref_area=u2.series_denom=e

It is made by:
-fetch command
-the series dataset: "bkn"
-followed by: "__"
-the dimensions name and value (name=value), separated by "." : "bkn_denom=10n1.bkn_item=nc10.bkn_series=as.bkn_type=c.data_type_bkn=s.freq=m.ref_area=u2.series_denom=e"

Let me know if this helps you.

Thanks a lot. I am trying to retrieve the Yield curve data for AAA government bonds. Yields and parameters of the NSS model

For the specific series you previously shared, the command should be like this:

fetch(d=ecb) yc__currency=eur.data_type_fm=sr_10y.freq=b.instrument_fm=g_n_a.provider_fm=4f.provider_fm_id=sv_c_ym.ref_area=u2

Thanks, I rand the line, Eviews keeps fetching but cannot find anything

Is your copy of EViews 13 up to date?

I think so. I have the Aug. 8 2023 build.
thanks

You should update to the latest version.
